Hello,

I have some vintage Lieca R lenses that I would like to use on my 1DX Mark III. Unfortunatly it looks like full size DSLR's sit a little too high for the follow focus motor to make contact with the lens. I was looking into some type of rail riser but I can't seem to find anything that would be suitable. It also appears that the rails DJI includes are smaller than the more standard 15mm rails.

I have attached two photos. Just as an FYI - the lens shown is Canons 50mm 1.2 and is not from my set of Lieca R's I will be using which are all cinevised with follow focus gears. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
